What to Expect

September 11, 2010
Pizza Oven Foundation

During this workshop we will learn how to build an earth friendly, lime mortared foundation, how to prepare the site, and and 'learn by doing' as we build a foundation:

- Gather Stones
- Prep Foundation Stones
- Slake Lime - Make Lime Mortar - Build Lime mortar foundation

A delicious lunch, as well as plenty of drinking water will be provided, and chances are there will be some music in the air.

- Lime mortar is created in steps, with an interval of several weeks between each step. However, pre-mixed mortar will be on site at each stage in order to demonstrate each step. - Wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Jeans and tennis shoes or other closed toe shoes are recommended. There's critters in these here parts. - In order to complete the foundation in one day, we will begin mixing mortar promptly at 9:00. - If hands on participation is desired, protective gloves, goggles and dust masks are a must. - Moving around and working with large stones, as well as digging trenches is physically demanding. Use common sense, drink lots of water and lift with your legs, not your back. You'll need your back for the rest of your life.
